Ravichandran Ashwin and Mohammed Shami wrapped up the New Zealand innings in the second session of Day 5 to hand India a comfortable 197-run win in the first Test at Kanpur. Fans took to Twitter to celebrate the win, troll Sanjay Manjrekar's commentary, and, of course, Rohit Sharma.

Sanjay Manjrekar and Ravi Shastri are like the Kardashians of commentary - entertaining, but not how they intended it to be.

Me: "Is this India's 500th Test?"

Siva: "Yes"

Gavaskar: [West Indian accent] "Yah man"

Shastri: "BCCI can neither confirm nor deny rumours"

Sanjay Manjrekar can cook food with his commentary. Itna pakaata hai.

Rohit Sharma just cannot get a break, doesn't he. Fans troll the Mumbaikar again.

Lol @BLACKCAPS playing the Gupta ji card just like India's Sharma ji. @Martyguptill @ImRo45 #IndiavsNewZealand #KentCricketLive

Sushant Singh trained himself so hard for the movie still team selectors chose Rohit Sharma over him, shame.

India leads by 56 runs and 35 of those runs were scored by rohit .. who think he didn't deserve a place in the team #IndiavsNewZealand

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli continues to impress as a captain.

Ashwin is slowly creating a legacy.

Most five-fors in first 37 Tests: Sydney Barnes – 24 (27 Tests), Clarrie Grimmett – 21, Waqar Younis – 19, R Ashwin – 19 #indvsnz

However, it was Sir Jadeja who was the man of the match - an award he should have won on the basis of this interview alone.
